Analysis of Josh Hockit's performance against Curtis Blaydes notes he could fight more defensively but maintains an aggressive image that requires absorbing damage. While Hockit secured victory over Blaydes, the piece warns that such reckless attacks would lead to knockout defeat against Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. Positive observations include Hockit's increasing power, effective elbow work in round three, and easy takedown defense against Blaydes' wrestling attempts, all credited to coach Mike Winkeljohn. Hockit's deviant behavior contrasts with his coaches' styles but aligns perfectly with Donald Trump and Dana White's preferences. The analyst suggests Derrick Lewis shouldn't be written off as an opponent but suspects Lewis will prioritize money and avoiding damage over winning. Hockit's fighting style matched the setting of performing before Trump at the White House.
